The Real Top Of The Pops

It is never cool
To break somebody's heart
But mine's already broken
So it doesn't really hurt
You know I loved you so
And perhaps I love you still
Every time you touch me
I can feel the old thrill

Where did you learn that walk, babe
Where did you get that smile?
You must have been rehearsing
While I was out wasting my time
Such a fool as I
Such a humdinger girl like you
Storming through the stage
And missing all our cues

Remember rocking the place and never worrying too much
Together we could have been the real top of the pops
Nobody did understand but we couldn't care less, I guess
I guess all it takes to bring it back to life
Is a single night with her
A single night with her

I never thought I'd see you
Wearing my shirts again
Feels like the house was haunted
And you had never really left
Yeah, it's old and it's new
Same deft fingers more tattoos
There must be something worth
When we keep colliding like we do

Now I don't need a map
To locate the tender spots
I keep the one I stole
When I got lost for the first time
We were oh so cute
As a stubborn ticking bomb
Somebody had forgotten
Under the bed we were sleeping on

Remember rocking the place and never worrying too much
Together we could have been the real top of the pops
Nobody did understand but we couldn't care less, I guess
I guess all it takes to bring it back to life
Is a single night with her
A single night with her
